1t Is hardly necessary to observe
that the people of GAINESVILLE are ex-
ceedingly fond Of church services,
from the fact that large audiences
have greeted the ministers at all the
places where worship has been held
fer two weeks past. Invent to church
myself last Sunday night and en-
joyed the sermon very much. On
Monday as i was coming down a
street, / noticed an expert in the
terpsichorcan art that looked like he
had been there too. The factisthat the
officiating clergyman raked SO many
people of different professions up the
back, that / sat shivering like an
aspen leaf for fear the reporter
would be tackled next; but thank
goodness my profession was skipped
over. ! like mighty well to sit al

course surely be the case.

Near the corner OF Fifth and
Franklin streets the other day were
grouped together a bevy of Clarks-
ville's prettiest young ladies, and as
they were discussing the city's iinan-
ces | took stand beside a conven-
lent telephone pole expecting to hear
something good. / soon found out
that the confab was brought about
over the uneven condition of the
yard surrounding the Howell school
building. One of the beauties said
she knew that the city was busted
because her friend Mr.. James Smith
who has the honor of being the city's
good Mayor, was too clever not to
spend money in such noble cause
as the improvement of the school
yard, if it'were to be had. l turned
my head and smiled like a Chinaman
when saw how nicely the wool was
pulled over her eyes. Another
speaker said she knew all the Alder
men and she could state positively
that they would all vote for the bf au-
tifying the grounds if the city had
the money to spend. Fearing !
might bust for wanting to laugh at
how oadly they were all bamboozled,
boarded a car and came down
town.

to test her sincerity he emptied a
chloroferm bottle that was Tabled for
the fatal stuff, and retiring to his
room he wrote a note to his friends
saying he did not desire to live
longer and intimated that he had
committed te-io-de-se by swallowing
what had been in the phial. The
note and phial were left on the table
in his room, and some hours later the
young man that rooms with him
came in, and found the suspicious
looking articles. With a lunging
bound, the belated young man rushed
down stairs, called the landlady, and
in less than five minutes the house
was alive with excitement and noise.
Meantime the young girl who was
expected to be the victim of the sen
sation was left sleeping, and
knew nothing of the affair. The
supposed suicide was found snugly
sleeping and when aroused began
